Isolation and identification of bovine primary hepatocytes.

Evaluating of Iran Razi Khedmati Bovine Kidney (IRKHBK) Cell Line for Isolation and ‎Propagation of Viruses

Abstract Background and Aims: To identify and isolation of viruses a susceptible cell is need which can be primary or line. The use of primary cells is laborious, time consuming and expensive, while the use of cell lines is much easier and faster. IRKHBK cell line was originated from primary cells of bovine kidney by continuous passage. The aim of this study was to introduce the IRKHBK cell ...

The Isolation and Identification of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis Virus in Iran

Expression of Regulated Oncogen-Alpha by Primary Hepatocytes Following Isolation and Heat Shock Stimulation

High levels of regulated oncogen-alpha (GRO-a) expression have been observed in the liver. GRO-a stimulates proliferation of epithelial cells and induction of rolling and extravascular migration of neutrophils and mononuclear cells. Given the above observations, this chemokine was chosen to be analyzed in freshly isolated and cultured hepatocytes. In this study, hepatocytes (2×106 cell/ml) were...

Research Article: In vitro investigation on response of cultivated hepatocytes from Klunzinger\'s mullet, Liza klunzingeri, to temperature and fetal bovine serum

The appropriate temperature and growth supplementary factors such as fetal bovine serum (FBS) are the necessities needed for cell growth in culture medium. In this regards, the effect of Leibovitz-15 (L-15) medium containing different concentrations of fetal bovine serum (FBS) was assessed on growth and proliferation of cultivated liver cells of klunzingerchr('39')s mullet, Liza klunzingeri, in...

Evaluation of the Stress Effect on Expression of BEST-5 Gene in Gultured Rat Hepatocytes and Cloning of This Gene

Introduction:Liver has important roles in body metabolic regulation and for this reason hepatocytes are used worldwide.Investigations showed that isolation of hepatocytes causes activation of stress related genes.The aim of this study was to study the stress related expression of BEST-5 following hepatocytes isolation and culture. Method:The BEST-5 gene is cloned and analyzed for the first tim...

Development and Cytogenetic Characterization of a Continuous Bovine Kidney Cell Line (IRKHBK) and Evaluation its Susceptibility to some Viruses

In this syudy a continuous bovine kidney cell line derived from a primary bovine kidney cells was established for the first time in Iran. The cells were originating from two-day-old normal male calf of Holstein breed. The cell cultures were continuously passaged following complete proliferation of primary cells. The specific properties or characteristics of the cell were defined using cytogenet...
